We believe we can win despite all the call-offs
ISRAEL striker Moanes Dabbur has warned Scotland not to underestimate them despite the Covid-19 crisis robbing them of key players for the Euro 2020 showdown.
Scotland face the Israelis at Hampden on Thursday but the away side have seen their squad devastated by players testing positive for the virus and were depleted further with an injury to Celtic’s Nir Bitton.
However, £ 12million Hoffenheim striker Dabbur insists they will use the loss of their colleagues as motivation for their return to Hampden this week, after a 1-1 Nations League draw last month.

“Personally, I feel great and I have started the season well in Germany.”
